Debuted
to the press Friday evening before the 2000 Petit Le Mans, the brand
new
designed Panoz LMP07 was to be a new chapter in the continuing Panoz
Epic.
But instead it tuned into a near debacle. If it wasn't for
the mid-season
scrapping of the LMP07 and two successive wins for, ironically, the old
LMP1, 2001 would have been a miserable year.
